I'm going to start mine in a week's time and haven't finished the coursework yet. I've done the complete plan but made many mistakes so have to correct them all quickly and memorize it as soon as possible.

Do you not get your information folders in the exam?

Only of the finance, like the figures. The rest has all got to be memorized. Do you?

yeh we get folders in our exam with whatever information we want in them. I've got my complete unit 2 coursework in there. You are allowed to take anything into the exam that you want, as long as it is in the folder before you start your timed sessions; and you must state that it is in the folder too. Bar that, you are allowed yes.

I'll have to reconfirm with my teacher then.

Yeh, our teacher said to not take too much in as it will waste a lot of time flicking through it, but hey!

Dude, thanks for telling me. My teacher said we have to go in and know it all by heart, except for the finance. It must be 10 times easier for you then.

One last question, did you do this coursework before and went into the exam? If that's the case, are you allowed to take it into the exam and just type it up seeing as it's all your work?

effectively yes

however, this was at AS level with AS level grade stuff in it - and also we have to encorporate year 2 stuff into it too

Oh dahm, I have to speak to my teacher because I'm finding it impossible to memorize it completely!

it's your school's policy, not the exam board; so they should not have tooo many problems with it.

Okay, we were allowed bullet points. I have been doing the coursework since 3 days and I have already finished it: 27 pages, 15'000 words in 8 hours. I now have 6 hours to read through the entire coursework and hand it in. It went quite well actually.

Surely not?! So you have finished it in 8 hours? We have had 8 hours and I am 3/4 of the way through it - so not going too bad.

Well our teacher had planned to do a section a day (during the 5 periods) but part c) really took me very little time so I managed to finished part d) the same day. How are you guys working through it? I mean how many sessions?

3 sessions a week of 1hour 20minutes a session

That seems much better to me. At least you don't get a headache sitting 3 hours in front of the computer a day, non-stop for 5 days.

Yeh - I start to 'lose' concentration by the end of the 1hr 20mins, so by the end of 3 hours it'd be useless!!! However, at least you have got your done now.

Mohit_C

Hell yeah. Well the first day I was energetic and got loads done, the next day I just was in a state of "can't be ******* asked", and finally I finished it the third day.

have any of you got a plan or structure you could possibly send me for unit 8 please. I'm not really sure what i need to include. Is it alright to bring in things like definitions to add in when you're writing up?

Any information or advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :smile:

Well, I was allowed to bring in some notes on headings for my coursework and sub-headings of what I was to talk about, not direct notes. Have a look at the Edexcel website and look for the Specification. You're not allowed to take that into the exam but I was allowed to copy down the bullet points under each heading.
